Lancaster, Pennsylvania (May 4, 2026) — PGA of America Golf Professional Andrew Cornish of Llanerch Country Club in Havertown, Pennsylvania, finished his round with an impressive 7-under-par 63 to win the 2026 Philadelphia PGA Conestoga Classic at Conestoga Country Club on a beautiful spring day. He bettered Rolling Green Golf Club’s Braden Shattuck, PGA, by one stroke. The event is a Rolex / Haverford Trust Company Philadelphia PGA Player of the Year points event.

Cornish made seven birdies and avoided dropping a shot en route to his victory.

“It was a good day,” said Cornish following the conclusion of play. “The course is short, but can get tricky. I think I hit all 18 greens, and made the putts when I needed to.”

Cornish started his day at 9:30 a.m. off the 10th tee, and had a long wait to see if his score would hold against the field. He said he went out to have lunch with his parents and had a Blizzard at Dairy Queen with fellow PGA Professional Jim Parella.

He went on to thank Conestoga Country Club and its staff, Llanerch Country Club and its membership, his parents, Titleist, and his fiancé Tessa Teachman of Aronimink Golf Club.

Chris Gray, Rehoboth Beach Country Club, finished in third place at 3-under-par, followed by three PGA Professionals who tied for fourth place at 2-under: Dave McNabb, Applebrook Golf Club; Tony Perla, Huntingdon Valley Country Club; and Ross Brown, Fox Hill Country Club.

In the Senior Division, McNabb walked away with the winner’s check, thanks to his 2-under-par round of 68. The Country Club at Woodloch Springs’ John Pillar, PGA, and Royal Oaks Golf Club’s Terry Hatch both finished one stroke behind McNabb, followed by Brendon Post, University of Delaware; and Dave Quinn, Laurel Creek Country Club; who tied for fourth place at 1-over-par.

The Philadelphia Cricket Club’s Bill Sautter, PGA, earned the Super Senior Division title, finishing at 2-under-par, five clear of Wayne Phillips, Lehigh Country Club. PGA Life Member Jeffrey Van Etten finished in third place at 4-over-par, Greg Farrow, Deerwood Country Club, in fourth place at 5-over-par, and Jack Brennan, Mountain View Country Club, rounding out the top five at 6-over.

The Philadelphia PGA Section’s Central Counties Chapter hosted an event concurrently with the Conestoga Classic, with Ross Brown taking first. John Pillar finished one stroke back, followed by three PGA Professionals at even-par: Brian Bergstol, Shawnee Inn & Golf Resort; Terry Hatch; and Alex Knoll, Glen Brook Golf Club.

The Philadelphia Assistants’ Organization (PAO) also held an event at Conestoga, and Cornish ran away with the title, bettering Whitford Country Club’s Anthony Sebastianelli, PGA, and Chesapeake Bay Golf Club’s Zach Barbin, PGA, by six strokes. Four PGA Professionals tied for fourth place at even-par: Ryan Rucinski, Applebrook Golf Club; Brian Bergstol; Rob Wolfers, Manufacturers’ Golf & Country Club; and Alex Knoll.

Congratulations are in order for PGA Member Eric Figueroa of McCall Golf Club for making a hole-in-one on Conestoga’s fifth hole. He used a 6-iron from 191 yards. Well played, Eric!
